2017 Storm Water Resource Plan
In 2016 and 2017, the County of San Diego, in collaboration with the San Diego County Copermittees, prepared a Functionally Equivalent Storm Water Resource Plan (SWRP).
The SWRP incorporates storm water planning information from a variety of sources across the county, and developed criteria to assist project sponsors in identifying
opportunities to improve their projects to provide multiple benefits. All storm water and dry weather capture projects seeking funding through Proposition 1 are required
to be included in the SWRP. The SWRP includes a "living" prioritized project list that agencies can add to and update through the online project database
(http://irwm.rmcwater.com/sd/login.php) The Final SWRP contains a list of projects submitted
during the project solicitation process that took place in November, however projects can be continually added or modified through the online project database.
The Final Draft SWRP was submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board on March 1, 2017, and revised to provide additional guidance on benefit calculations in
June 2017.
The Final SWRP can be downloaded using the links below. If you have any questions regarding the SWRP, please contact Ruth De La Rosa, County of San Diego, via email
(Ruth.Delarosa@sdcounty.ca.gov).

To assist project sponsors with benefit calculations, the County has developed a series of calculators available in Excel. The calculators are planning tools that provide conceptual level computations, using variables averaged
across scales inappropriate for design or predictive purposes. Results can be used for conceptual planning and grant applications, but Project Sponsors should use more sophisticated methods when greater levels of detail are required. Please
review the "Read Me" tab of the Calculator prior to use.
The Benefits Calculator can be downloaded here: SWRP Worksheet Calculators
The 2017 SWRP was accepted into the San Diego IRWM Plan via letter on April 13, 2017, and received a concurrence letter from SWRCB on April 28, 2017.

Stormwater Capture and Use Feasiblity Study The County of San Diego, in collaboration with the MS4 Copermittees, is developing a Stormwater Capture and Use Feasibility Study (SWCFS) to evaluate opportunities for stormwater capture and use on public parcels. Regular updates on the SWCFS are provided to the RAC (see "Presentations" under applicable RAC meetings here: http://www.sdirwmp.org/regional-advisory-committee). Additional information on the SWCFS can be found on Project Clean Water's SWCFS page, here: http://www.projectcleanwater.org/stormwater-capture-and-use-feasibility-study.
